How to fail with paired VNS therapy [PDF]
Brain Stimulation, 2023 Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has gained enormous traction as a promising bioelectronic therapy. In particular, the delivery of VNS paired with training to promote neural changes has demonstrated clinical success for stroke recovery and found far ...

Forward VNS, Reverse VNS, and Multi-VNS Algorithms for Job-Shop Scheduling Problem [PDF]
Modelling and Simulation in Engineering, 2016 This paper proposes a number of forward VNS and reverse VNS algorithms for job-shop scheduling problem. The forward VNS algorithms are the variable neighborhood search algorithms applied to the original problem (i.e., the problem instance with the ...

A hybrid VNS matheuristic for a bin packing problem with a color constraint [PDF]
Yugoslav Journal of Operations Research, 2021 We study a new variant of the bin packing problem with a color constraint. Given a finite set of items, each item has a set of colors. Each bin has a color capacity, the total number of colors for a bin is the unification of colors for its items and ...

Vagus Nerve Stimulation in Refractory Epilepsy: Effects on Pro- and Anti-Inflammatory Cytokines in Peripheral Blood [PDF]
, 2010 Objective: The vagus nerve has important immunological functions that may be relevant for its anticonvulsive action. We postulate that this anticonvulsive action is activated by a shift in the immune system resulting in a reduction of neurotoxic and an ...

Stochastic vagus nerve stimulation affects acute heart rate dynamics in rats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an approved therapy for treatment of epilepsy and depression. While also shown to be promising in several preclinical and clinical studies to treat cardiovascular diseases, optimal therapeutic stimulation paradigms are ...
